It's a beer set to boldly go where no beer has gone before — and it launched in Calgary this weekend.

Vulcan Ale is the brainchild of two Star Trek superfans from Calgary and Airdrie who also happen to own a beer distribution business. It's the first Star Trek beer to be licenced in Canada by the franchise and it officially launched Saturday in Calgary.

"I think I was 14 when the show first aired," says Paul Carreau, a Calgarian and trekkie with DeLancey Direct, the company behind Vulcan Ale. "I watched it and watched it and even before then I was into science fiction so that was something that really appealed to me."
